According to the source quoted above, Virendra Dixit started out in Brahama Kumaris, hoped to become its leader, then created his own empire.
Long ago, Brahama Kumaris reportedly became experienced in dealing with large numbers of single women -- and in managing their families and funds.
Note that Virendra Dixit has recruited vast numbers of girls and young women
to his compounds and made it difficult for their families to visit - and difficult for the women to leave.
Virendra Dixit collected women as an expression of his plan to aquire 'gopis'.

This seems to fit in with the beliefs of Brahama Kumaris

In a paper for the book for the Scientific Study of Religion, Howell wrote that teenage girls surrendering to the organisation are required to pay the equivalent of a dowry to the organization. The payment was meant to prevent parents from “dumping” their daughters at the BKWSU as a way to avoid the costs of ordinary marriages. Return to the world for women who have has such a dowry paid for them is difficult.

The BKWSU is believed by its members to have been established by Shiva Baba (God-Father Shiva), described as the “Supreme Soul” and claimed to be the one God of all religions through the medium of the group’s founder Lekhraj Kripalani
From the beginning, a number of trance-messengers have received messages and teachings. Its mediums also directly channel a messages from deceased senior Brahma Kumaris leaders.In its early days, children would commonly go into trances, having visions of Krishna and Golden Aged Heaven and engaging in ecstatic dances for as long as 7 days. A number of mediumistic female followers known as Sandeshputris (trance messengers) also helped add to the group’s spiritual knowledge through psychic visions.
